Deserialization - CodeAnt AI

avoid-pyyaml-load

Detected a possible YAML deserialization vulnerability. yaml.unsafe_load, yaml.Loader, yaml.CLoader, and yaml.UnsafeLoader are all known to be unsafe methods of deserializing YAML. An attacker with control over the YAML input could create special YAML input that allows the attacker to run arbitrary Python code. This would allow the attacker to steal files, download and install malware, or otherwise take over the machine. Use yaml.safe_load or yaml.SafeLoader instead.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
OWASP:
- A08:2017 - Insecure Deserialization
- A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures

avoid-jsonpickle

Avoid using jsonpickle, which is known to lead to code execution vulnerabilities. When unpickling, the serialized data could be manipulated to run arbitrary code. Instead, consider serializing the relevant data using json module.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
OWASP:
- A08:2017 - Insecure Deserialization
- A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures

avoid-unsafe-ruamel

Avoid using unsafe ruamel.yaml.YAML(). ruamel.yaml.YAML can create arbitrary Python objects. A malicious actor could exploit this to run arbitrary code. Use YAML(typ='rt') or YAML(typ='safe') instead.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
OWASP:
- A08:2017 - Insecure Deserialization
- A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures

avoid-pickle

Avoid using pickle, which is known to lead to code execution vulnerabilities. When unpickling, the serialized data could be manipulated to run arbitrary code. Instead, consider serializing the relevant data as JSON or a similar text-based serialization format.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
OWASP:
- A08:2017 - Insecure Deserialization

avoid-cPickle

Avoid using cPickle, which is known to lead to code execution vulnerabilities. When unpickling, the serialized data could be manipulated to run arbitrary code. Instead, consider serializing the relevant data as JSON or a similar text-based serialization format.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
OWASP:
- A08:2017 - Insecure Deserialization

avoid-dill

Avoid using dill, which uses pickle, which is known to lead to code execution vulnerabilities. When unpickling, the serialized data could be manipulated to run arbitrary code. Instead, consider serializing the relevant data as JSON or a similar text-based serialization format.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
OWASP:
- A08:2017 - Insecure Deserialization

avoid-shelve

Avoid using shelve, which uses pickle, which is known to lead to code execution vulnerabilities. When unpickling, the serialized data could be manipulated to run arbitrary code. Instead, consider serializing the relevant data as JSON or a similar text-based serialization format.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
